METHODS: We herein report a patient with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma with superficial cervical lymph node recurrence. Intraoperative ultrasound confirmed the localization of the lesion and major vessels near the tumor. We punctured the tumor with catheters of laser illumination under ultrasound guidance. Laser illumination was able to be performed safely without causing serious adverse events, and the effect on the illuminated site was fully exhibited.
CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound allows for the intraoperative monitoring of each localized area and the puncture status easily in real-time. Accurate utilization of ultrasound is extremely important in PIT.
方法:我们在此报告1例口咽部鳞状细胞癌伴颈浅表淋巴结复发的患者。
结论:超声允许术中实时监测每个局部区域和穿刺状态。
